| | Forbidden Forest Also known as the Dark Forest, the Forbidden Forest borders the edges of the Hogwarts Grounds. It lies directly behind Mr.Kirby’s hut and the name tells it already. THIS.PLACE.IS.FORBIDDEN. Tall trees block the sunlight and even while standing on the edge of the forest you can hear strange, creepy noises coming from within that you do not want to find out which creature the sounds belong to. Anyone getting caught in the Forbidden Forest will be punished without excuse. |

| =F Finishing the FFRP Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right. "What!?!" Kirby yelled as he unknowingly ran directly 10 yards past the developing situation. He was preoccupied with running and trying to listen to Cosgrach yell at him, so give this guy a break. Something about being friends? Coming to a skidding stop the Grounskeeper turned to see he had gone too far. "We can talk about being friends later Culloden. Kid Safety first!"
Taking in the situation finally. Kirby made eye contact with the 8-legged creature. Soon followed by more poorly heard yelling "WOULD YOU ALL STOP YELLING. GET BEHIND THE PROFESSOR'S BARRIER AND GO!" That's why the Potions Master threw it up, yeah? Good on him.
He will have his Field Day with those 2 Kids after they are safely out of the Forbidden Forrest. Maybe use them as prime examples as to why this place was Forbidden. Finally making up the Ground that he over ran, Kirby stood in front of the Kids. With a quick flick of his wand Orsino Barked "Flipendo!" at the Evil Spider Thing.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Archie O'Brien Slytherin Third Year | After a long day of classes, Nate decided to take a back route to the Pathways...that was along the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Never would he ever on purpose actually walk into the Forest. He just liked the silence, and getting away from all the loud and obnoxious first years. Nate loved them and all, don't get me wrong on that, but they ARE loud and obnoxious. Every firstie is. Nate was one, and all of his friends were one too. So the peace and serenity of quietness was a nice thing after an extremely long day. He had a ton of Homework that he had to do.
Walking along, minding his business, books and papers in hand, a sudden breeze picked up. Some of his papers escaped from his grasp, and quickly found their way inside the Forbiden Forest. They weren't to far in, so most likely he wouldn't get in trouble. He just simply strolled in to get them. As he reached down to pick them up another breeze picked up, not only moving those papers farther from him, but they also moved some other papers. Now that was weird. "Stupid papers." He mumbled under his breath. The thought of having to go in farther didn't make this situation better. But he needed those papers. So Nate went in farther, but so did the papers. This time the wind also scattered them around. With two quick glances to the side to make sure no one was around he followed them deeper into the Forest.

Caelen may or may not have been sitting on the grass near the forest -she was doing some homework and may or may not have been relaxing in a place where no one went- when she saw Nate. The little redhead was going to wave to him, but that required movement that the little Ravenclaw didn't really want to make right now. So she just sat still and watched him.
The wind blew his papers away and into the forest. The redhead with the braid looked to see what he would do. Going into the forest was dangerous, didn't he know that? Of course he knew that, he was a seventh year, all seventh years knew that, right?
Another gust of wind? What the? Was Nate just dropping papers to go further? Should she call a teacher? Then she would be a tattle. But he could get hurt, so it wouldn't be tattling. However, it was quite obvious that this was wind that was causing all of his papers to act as if they had a mind of their own. Whatever.
The short girl watched as the papers moved, yet again, deeper into the forest. He was seriously following them. That was something he was actually doing. He did know that he could get seriously hurt, right? Was he just stupid?
Silently willing him to go back and just copy the homework on another paper or something, Caelen let out a deep sigh when she saw her friend go deeper into the forest. This idiot. She would protect her homework papers with EVERYTHING and yet she was still thinking this was a little too far. He needed to calm down.

| We See You Two Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right. Did they think he was BLIND! No...this weird Aging wasn't effecting his sight (Thank Merlin), just everything else. The Wrinkly, Old, Fat Groundskeeper. snarled/snorted...and bounded/limped his way toward the kids. "Out! Out! OUT! OUT! OUT! OUT NOW! Was no Kid here afraid of the things that lurked in the Forest?
Kirby was going to have to have a serious conversation with the Headmistress...if he felt like leaving his Hut...Lucky these Kids caught him when he was collecting his Honey. "You have less then FIVE Seconds to leave the Forest, Kid!" He peered over at the younger Ravenclaw Kid who was just watching the Older Student skip into the Forest. GREAT NOW THAT KID HAS SET A BAD EXAMPLE! "Four, Three..." The anger on his face was creating more wrinkles. "TWO!..."

Hogwarts RPG Name: Archie O'Brien Slytherin Third Year | They're onto us!!!!! Ruuuuuuun!!!! Once again, another unexpected wind swept more of his papers away, and pushing them deeper into the woods. Why couldn't the wind just keep them into one big pile? That would make his life so much easier. It really would. Because now he had like a kajillion papers he had to find. Well he better should start getting to work. Finally he was able to pick up his papers without that mysterious wind blowing them away. This would take forever though. 1 paper...2 papers...3 papers...4 papers...5 papers...6 papers...7 papers...
After about 20 minutes of picking up about 50 different pieces of parchment, Nate finally got all the pieces together. Upon finally getting up and turning around Nate noticed that he was all alone...in the deep, dark Forbidden Forest...and not to mention he managed to some how get himself lost. Quickly drawing his wand from his leather holster like a cowboy would draw a pistol he exclaimed "Lumos Maximos!" Almost all of his emotions went into those words. The tip of his wand illuminated a bright white light. Looking around frantically he heard a voice in the distance. He couldn't quite make out the garbled speech because of how deep he was inside of the Forest. Neither could he make out the location of the voice because it echoed off the trees. Nate could only do one thing now. It was either get in trouble or possibly die...Nate would rather get in trouble.
"Hello!? Could you keep yelling please! I'm kind of lost in here!" Hopefully they'd be able to hear him.

| Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right. No more Mr. Nice Groundskeeper. Orsino let out a massive grunt and stomped into the Forrest, the yelling was not helpful to his deaf ears, but at least the kid let off some good light. "ONE!" the Groundskeeper towered over the Hufflepuff kid. "We'll discuss your punishment OUT of the Forest. No excuses either." He was not gonna hear how this kid wanted to see Unicorns, or fairies. Not giving the student much time to protest Kirby snagged the kid, and dragged him out of the Forest.
He reached the edge where he had been before, where the little Ravenclaw Kid had been sitting nearby. Setting the Kid Down Orsino gave the boy a stern, grumpy, and very unpleasant look. He had 3 minutes to make his case.

No way Nate was getting out of this one. He looked the Professor in the eye, and could tell he would need to make this quick. So "Professor, I would never intentionally walk into the Forbidden Forest. I was taking a back route to get to the Pathways, but then some wind swept some of my papers away. I went in after them because they didn't go in that far. Once I reached down to attempt to pick them up, more wind blew them away yet again. The same thing happened until they got deep enough into the woods to the point were the wind couldn't touch them because of all the trees blocking them." That was it.
That's all Nate had to say. It was simple. Nothing more, nothing less. That was all done in about 2 minutes and 59.99 seconds. At least from what Nate could've guessed.

| Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right. Almost 3 minutes Flat! Kid spoke fast, and made his case. Although it was a poor one. "Take out your Wand." Orsino said firmly. "Take out your wand and throw your papers back into the Forest. Show me what else you could have done." The Groundskeeper crosses his Arms, and waited for the Hufflepuff to do as he asked. "You're an Older Student no doubt you can tell me what spell would have brought your papers back?" Foot tapping commenced soon after the arm crossing. "Oh, and let's return them a single paper at a time, at a Random Order." He didn't add anything to his waiting pose now. He felt pretty comfy right now.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Archie O'Brien Slytherin Third Year | UGHHHHH!
Now he had to do a spell that he learned all the way back in his First Year at Hogwarts!? What's next!? Voldemort is going to come back!? This Nate could hardly do! Let alone release his papers once again into the Forbidden Forest. Would this count as cruel and unusual punishment? Nate was sure that was like against the law or something. Or at LEAST against the school rules. That was a rule when he went to Muggle School. One of the things his First Grade teacher couldn't do was cruel and unusual punishment. Though, if he didn't get his homework done, he'd just blame it on the groundskeeper. After all HE was making Nate do this. The only reason why Nate didn't cast the levitation spell in the first place was because he's tired! He just learned from practically dawn until dusk. That was a long time to be learning.
Well, this would be really painful, but Nate had to do it. Otherwise he'd wind up in detention. That Nate just couldn't have. So releasing the papers and letting the wind take them, he clenched his jaw and watched as they flew away back into the forest. Stupid Groundskeeper. Grrrrrrr. Taking his out his wand from his purple leather holster, he stated with emphasis "Accio!" The words rolled off his tongue like a he has been practicing this all his life. Or like it was a charm being used by the Greek Soceress, Circe. He repeated the same thing...
Over...and over...and over...and over...
Until he eventually recollected all the papers back into his hand. Then he peered into the Groundskeepers eyes. "There. Are you happy now?"

| Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right. "Watch your Attitude with me, Kid." The Groundskeeper spoke up in very grouchy tone. "It's very clear I am upset with your lack of Common Sense in this matter. So don't be smart with me." With that Groundskeeper raised his hand to his beard and strocked at it letting bits of dried Honey drop to the ground. "12 points from Hufflepuff." The Groundskeeper decided as he lowered his hand back down and crossed them around his chest. "10 for your disregard to School rules, and another 2 for that attitude." He seriously was getting tired of all the students just walking into the Forest. He'd have slammed this kid with a heavier punishment, but Kirby just wanted to go back to his Hut now and sleep. "We can work out a deal to lower your point loss if you're willing to help me out in a certain matter." Something sweet will also be rewarded should the Kid agree to this.
